Former British Prime Minister and Currently the Foreign Secretary to the United Kingdom, Lord David Cameron has said that if Russia President, Vladimir Putin should win the war in Ukraine, the rest of the world would suffer because, according to him, Putin believes might is right.

David Cameron stated this at the United Nations Security Council meeting in New York on Friday, the eve to the two years anniversary since Russia military invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Lord David Cameron while addressing the UN Security Council warned against giving up on Ukraine, saying, there would be consequences of withdrawing support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.

The statement from David Cameron came as  Ukraine is faced with challenges of acute shortages of ammunition, just as  European countries are struggling to find enough stocks to send across to them. It would be recalled that American military aid worth over $60 billion was stalled over political differences in the America Congress.

According to the Foreign Secretary; “Two years on, I recognise some want to rethink. There is a sense of fatigue, there are other problems, a compromise might seem attractive. But this is wrong.

We must recognise the cost of giving up. Putin has said there will be no peace until Russia’s goals are achieved, and in his recent interview, he studiously avoided confirming he was satisfied with the land seized from Ukraine at present.

This is not a man seeking compromise – rather, this is a neo-imperialist bully who believes that might is right.

(If Putin) eke out some kind of win, the rest of the world would suffer too.

History teaches us that when we don’t involved and help defend a country against a dictator’s invasions, when we eventually get involved, the price that is paid in money, and the price that is paid ultimately in American lives is greater”.

I said that if we did not stand up to Putin, he would be back for more.

Now, having tried and failed to conquer all of Ukraine, the lesson of this history is clear. If we do not stand up to Putin, he will be back for more”.

David Cameron added that that he believes the world “has started properly to wake up to Putin’s menace”.

Lord Cameron went on to criticise the Russian leader’s “ahistorical claim” Ukraine’s existence “is anti-Russian”.

“A claim which runs contrary to the principle of self-determination – one of the foundations of the United Nations.”

The foreign secretary criticised the Russian claims that Western nations are “somehow out to dismember Russia” – a “central lie” in the conflict as he and other leaders spent years trying to build relationships with Moscow.

“We did that because we profoundly believe that a secure, stable Russia, at peace with its neighbours, is in our interests and the world’s,” he said.

“It is a tragedy that Putin prefers to hark back to the ninth century to justify aggression rather than taking up this offer of a different path.”

A “win” in Ukraine for Putin “would not end there”.

Putin could easily apply his distortions of history elsewhere, such as Moldova or the Baltic States, and others will be emboldened to turn to fighting when it suits them,” Lord Cameron said.

“No country with a large, aggressive neighbour would be safe. So yes, we should stand by Ukraine – but not just for Ukraine, not just for Europe, but for the world and a simple principle.

The security of borders, the sanctity of nations, the principle of self-determination.

Ukraine’s fight is our fight the world’s fight, and the world must stay strong.”

Also speaking at the UK security council, David Cameron said “we all must to stand up to Putin”.

Adding: “If we give into the idea that one country can invade another with impunity, then we will be left in a dreadful situation where any country could face a similar fate.

“Respect for sovereignty lies at the heart of the international system. At the heart of the United Nations. Nothing matters more to its members than having our borders treated as inviolable.

“And that’s why nothing should matter more to us than seeing Putin fail.

“We must not falter. We must stand firm.”

Sky News reported that, at the UN meeting, Tory peer started his UN speech by saying he warned about the dangers of Vladimir Putin in 2008, when he was leader of the opposition, and Russian troops entered South Ossetia in Georgia. And he spoke of how he was prime minister in 2014 when Putin’s “little green men” entered Crimea.
